Birth-Marked

(album: Hikari - 2017)

Just a child
Who longed to see you smile
But you tore my heart apart
And forced me into the wild
Just a child
Made to carry this burden
Made to carry this burden

Cast into darkness from the day I was born
Crying out for help but beat to the floor
You never loved me
You never loved me

Battered and broken
Left stripped of emotion
These wounds go far beyond skin deep
What have you done to me?
What have you done to me?
Starved of the love I craved so desperately

Hush little baby don't you say a fucking word
You make my skin fucking crawl

My innocence consumed by fear
Drowning in waterfalls of tears
Yet through a tyranny of words
There's still love here
Can't you see that there is still love here?

Battered and broken
Left stripped of emotion
These wounds go far beyond skin deep
What have you done to me?
What have you done to me?
Starved of the love I craved so desperately

Just a child
The one that you defiled
I bear the scars from my past
A life that you had exiled
Just a child
Born condemned to rejection

Waste away
Though you gave me life, you're fucking dead to me
Waste away
